The professional teams of League of Legends will be shuffled again after the Worlds. Now the new ADC of T1 is confirmed, and he has already broken two records set by Faker.
Who is the new ADC of T1? At just 19 years old, the Korean ADC Peyz has become part of what is arguably the most successful team in League of Legends. Peyz made his debut in the LoL esports scene with the Academy team of Gen.G, a sister team of the organization aiming to discover and nurture new talent.
In 2022, he finally became the ADC of the main team of Gen.G and was able to win three titles in the Korean regional league with them. The MSI24, one of the most important tournaments after the Worlds, was also won by the young botlaner. Peyz left Gen.G in November 2024 and played for the next season with Team JD Gaming, which is represented in the Chinese professional league.
After longtime player Gumayusi left the team, T1 officially announced on November 18, 2025, on their X profile that Peyz will be the new ADC. He has signed a contract until the year 2028.
Peyz has already broken two records set by Faker
Which records of Faker has Peyz broken? Peyz has broken two records within the LCK (Korean regional league) set by Faker:
- Firstly, he needed only 193 days to achieve 500 kills the quickest.
- Secondly, Peyz holds the record for the most kills in the fewest matches at 1,000. He achieved this in just 190 games and was able to break the second record set by Faker, according to liquidpedia.net.
Peyz has even set more records and became the youngest registered player in the LCK. He also achieved the most kills in a top-tier match, with a total of 28 during the MSI24 finals.
Even before the official announcement, there were rumors about Peyz as the new ADC of T1. The German Twitch streamer Tolkin was asked by viewers what he thinks of Peyz as a replacement. His opinion was clear, and he referred to Peyz as a “downgrade” compared to the previous botlaner and MVP of the Worlds 2025 finals, Gumayusi: Twitch streamer Tolkin criticizes the potential new player for the best team in LoL: “I don’t think he’s good enough”
